West at Warren Valley Golf Course
About
Warren Valley Golf Club in Dearborn boasts two 18-hole courses designed by Scottish architect Donald Ross. The courses are some of Ross' first designs in Michigan. The par-71 West and par-72 East Courses both have traditional layouts that sprawl across rolling hills before settling along the banks of the Rouge River. There are several scenic holes on both courses that play alongside and across the river. The West Course has tree-lined fairways but they are generous and the greens are open and inviting. Tricky doglegs are shaped by the trees or the river. The river comes into play more on this course than the East, on seven holes to be exact. The bunkering is minimal but there is a surprising variety of elevation changes that will keep you on your toes.

This course is built within the terrain. Lots of mature trees with some water and protected lands to play around.
The course will be a pleasure to play, but you must respect the challenges or it can beat you down. There is a number of elevated tee shots that require above average landing ability in order to make a decent score.
The staff has a way of making you feel strange because of the prepaid better price that you paid to play. If that is not what is going on, then they need to be a little friendlier in there greetings.
I will play the course again and hope to see or experience a better greeting.
You may not get the course you book.
The facility has two courses, East and West. They are very similar, though I prefer West. You may find that though you book West on Golfnow they'll tell you to play East when you get there. Annoying. otherwise, a good course to walk.
this course is good for all skill levels
Played the west course and it was quite enjoyable. The elevation changes and doglegs made it challenging. A very nice course for the online price paid. Some areas were quite wet, two days after a lot of rain. So there were some problems with shots plugging. All in all, a very nice place to play.
Not Perfect...Still Fun.
Before it was a golf course it was a flood plain, thus, it is still a flood plain. There are, inevitably, some spots on the course where the fairway is not actually fairway due to puddles when there's been rain, dry, flaky earth when there hasn't.
That aside, this course is a fun play...it's short, because there's 36 holes crammed in a tight area, but forces you to hit enough different kinds of shots. It's busy, because it's a great value, but it plays a good pace because it's not too difficult. Even a hack like me can easily shoot around 90 here.
Great course for the price.
Awesome course for a beginner like me with wide fairways and wide greens. This course have some sort of difficulty too but for the most part it's great to be playing here and can't wait to be back soon.
nice manicure course, there was holes where you couldn't see the flag
very nice course have some challenging holes. The day I went it was wet but playable. have some challenging holes and some moderate. it was extremely hot not enough water on the course. and there was no cart girls.
this course needs a lot of maintenance
Do do attempt to golf here unless there has been no rain for at least one week to 10 days.
Great course, except after substantial rain
Warren Valley is one of my favorite courses. It is always excellently maintained and challenging without being overly difficult.
For reasons out of the staff's control, there is always significant amount of standing water after a few days of substantial rain.
Great price...good golf...
Always enjoy playing this course and definitely will return if the price is right.
36 holes mostly open
they had 36 holes very affordable river in play didn't have to wait on very many holes
average
the fairways needed to be mowed, they said mowers were down and theym were getting fixed
great course for the price
Would return to play this course! Great value for the money not very long but don't let that fool you into thinking that it is easy, a shotmakers course, small greens, and DO NOT miss the fairway the rough isn't extremely long but dense and punishing, the ball really likes to sit down in it. Most holes require an accurate tee shot so clubbing down to be in the short grass and away from the trees to have a shot at the green should be considered! Will be a long day for those who spray the ball. The Donald Ross greens have subtle breaks that are tough to read, pay attention to the landscape. Greens however are a bit slow but I did play early in the season and in the morning. A lot of elevation changes making club selection difficult at times and setting up some awkward lies. The one negative i have was the sand in the bunkers was like cement better off trying to pick it than blast it. But, overall very enjoyable.
Its a fun course.
This course has a great track. There are pars threes that are up hill down and down hill which are always fun. Par 4's with elevated tee shots and some doglegs too. Its just a fun course. First review ever so it must have triggered something for me to write this review.
Update that Donald Ross design.
This course is a little over priced. Good value if you can use one of the Golfnow specials. No frills, public course, wide open, not very difficult. Low handicappers won't find it very challenging, even from the blue tees. Higher handicaps will like the forgiving, wide open fairways. Very few tight holes, a few forced carries, many par 5's reachable in 2. Some reachable par 4's. Greens on the small side and a little slow. It does get a lot of play, and could use a little help. This 36 hole layout has potential, through better maintenance and a few design changes, to be so much more... Staff is cordial, not much of a pro shop at all (hello management, plenty of room, you are missing out on profit potential here!). Putting, chipping green, no range. Decent bar with irregular food availability and menu. Banquet facilities are good.
